Brief Candles, Crappy Dracula, and The Fatty Acids at Cactus Club
Back in 2006, Milwaukee’s Brief Candles released the excellent They Live We Sleep, an album that perfectly captured the band’s way with lush guitarscapes and airy vocals reminiscent of Ride, Swervedriver, and the ’80s and ’90s 4AD Records scene. In 2011, Fractured Days finally picked up where They Live left off. Practiced in My Bloody Valentine’s bewitching way of creating music so layered that it nearly evaporates off into contradictory airy and aggressive beauty, the album might be considered a weighty affair with its melting guitars, heart-heavy bass lines, and swirling atmospherics. Openers Crappy Dracula and The Fatty Acids may not have a lot in common with Brief Candles musically, though records from all three bands wound up on our Best Milwaukee Albums of 2011 list.
